Another satisfying summer read from the queen of the beach. --
Kirkus
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Weekenders comes a
delightful new audiobook about new love, old secrets, and the kind of
friendship that transcends generations.
When ninety-nine-year-old heiress Josephine Bettendorf Warrick summons
attorney Brooke Trappnell to her 20,000 acre barrier island home, Brooke
is puzzled. Everybody in the South has heard about the eccentric
millionaire mistress of Talisa, but Brooke has never actually met her.
Josephine's cryptic note says she wants to discuss an important legal
matter, but why enlist Brooke and not the prestigious Atlanta law firm
she has used for years? Brooke travels to Shellhaven and meets the cagey
Josephine, whose home is a crumbling pink mansion at the edge of the
turquoise sea.
Over the course of a few meetings, Josephine spins a tale of old
friendships, dark secrets, betrayal, and a long-unsolved murder. She is
hiring Brooke for two reasons: first, to protect her island from those
who would despoil her land, and second, to help her make amends with the
heirs of the women who were her closest friends, the girls of The High
Tide Club--so named because of their youthful skinny dipping
escapades--Millie, Ruth, and Varina. To fulfill a dying woman's wishes,
Brooke must find Josephine's friends' descendants and bringing them
together on Talisa for a reunion of women who've actually never met. But
in doing so, Brooke unleashes the makings of a scandal that could make
someone rich beyond their wildest dreams...or cause them to be in the
crosshairs of a murderer....

Reads best: a story shrouded in mystery, Spanish moss, verandah
cocktails, 1940s dinner dances, love lost, and possibly...love found.
